Abstract
We study, theoretically and numerically, domain formation and growth in a one-dimensional system with nonconserved order parameter, which evolves from an initial unstable state, through the field model equation of Ginzburg and Landau. We are able to distinguish two time regimes and to give an estimate of the separation time, associated with early-stage domain formation and their final slow growth related to domain-wall interaction.Keywords
